[s-cars] Does anyone know of a mediablaster that "recovers" it's spent media?

[chris chambers]

Matt,

I'll definitely check into this product and see if it does remove enough.

If I was going to use a media blaster I've conjured up an idea of making
a small elcosure say a rubber maid plastic bin around the gun with a shop
vac attached to try and keep it clean.

I haven't gotten it all figured out but picture a clearn plastic storage
bin on it's side with the opening pressed against the wall (rubber gasket
between bin and wall) hole through the side  (which is now the bottom)
with a blasting glove attached.

The bottom of the bin (now the back) would have a hole with a sheet of
plastic attached to allow viewing.

The media/air hoses would pass through couplers bolted to the bin and
a fitting to attach a shop vac hose.

Anywho that's my brainstorm but I'll definitely check into the peel away
product. The basement is ~20 x 25, so it could be bigger but
there is quite a  bit of cement block to clean.

Thanks for the input
Chris
